| Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Fourth Circuit |
Before RUSSELL, Circuit Judge, BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge, and DOUMAR, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting by designation.
Stanford H. Franklin (Rocklin, Franklin & Schapiro, on brief), for appellant.
Kevin Charles McCormick (Marc S. Rosen) Whiteford, Taylor & Preston, on brief), for appellee.
Appellants, participants in a Job Corps Training Program, appeal the dismissal of their private suit against Radio Corporation of America (RCA) for violation of the minimum wage provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act, 40 U.S.C. Secs. 276a et. seq. Although the appellants had pursued their administrative remedy through the Department of Labor and received some relief, they contend that additional money is due that cannot be reached through an administrative route, and, therefore, they are entitled to prosecute this action as one necessarily implied under the Davis-Bacon Act. 1

Redington, 442 U.S. 560 (1979); and Cannon v. University of Chicago, 441 U.S. 677 (1979), the court in Capeletti determined that (1) although the Act was passed for the benefit of the plaintiff class, the benefits were derived indirectly and not as a result of any right conferred directly on the class; (2) there was no legislative intent to create a private action; and (3) no private right of action was necessary because administrative remedies were available through the Department of Labor. This analysis was later accepted by the Third Circuit in Weber v. Heat Control Co., 579 F.Supp. 346 (D.N.J.1982), aff'd. mem....
